Lots of rumors swirling.
This is all boiling down to 2 things and zero of them have to do with “legacy”.
Playing time and NIL.
UGA is favored to land Etienne but at a price (NIL). Carson Beck is leaning towards returning for the 2024 season, but at a price (NIL).
Now, you all can argue and debate about what type of talent DR is all you want, and I probably will agree with most you. But you have a proven SEC QB in Beck, and feed him before feed a HS recruit IMO. Beck is rumored to be asking for a big NIL deal in order to return for his senior year. DR is rumored to want a big NIL deal to sign with UGA.
So, pick your poison ☠️, do you go with proven in 2024 or potential in 2025-2026? Also, to note, Etienne will not come to UGA for free, he will demand NIL money as well…so do you go all in on a H.S. kid or do you pay for 2 players for the price or 1 (because I believe Raiola NIL is way higher than what Beck and Etienne would be asking for)
Which one:
A) Beck comes back in 2024 & lose Raiola Committment.
B ) Beck declares for NFL and get Raiola, but don’t get Etienne.
C) Beck & Etienne both DAWGS in 2024 & lose Raiola commitment
